Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

On your way to Lake Berzdorf, you will pass Loenschen Park. In this narrow valley, there are many landscape elements such as wet meadows, deciduous woodland on the slopes, abandoned small quarries, dry grassland, sunken paths, old avenues, streams and resting water areas. They provide a habitat for many animals and make your stay an experience.
